β¦ Synopsis
Photosensitive polymers with pendant quinonoid groups were prepared by the reaction of p-(benzoquinon-2-ylthio)acetic acid (QTAA) or p-(p-benzoquinon-2-ylt~o)be~ic acid (QTBA) with hydroxyethyl methacrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer. The polymers showed a strong w -d absorption band at around 410 nm and were efficiently crosslinked by visible light irradiation. Somewhat higher photosensitivity of QTAA-bound polymer compared with that of QTBA-bound polymer suggested some contribution of intramolecular hydrogen abstraction of QTAA to the photocrosslinking.

## Abstract Liquid crystalline (LC) polymers with monosubstituted ferrocenyl units in the side chain were prepared by radical polymerizations of the corresponding LC and nonβLC acrylates. It was demonstrated that polymerization is useful for the LC orientation and expands the LC temperature range.
